From 54ffd82a1a3f90dfc0a81e777d0638998f122a90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: zwelch Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2009 20:03:52 +0000 Subject: David Brownell : Minor fixup to the User's Guide, primarily related to the handful of commands defined in "startup.tcl"; "help" was not previously documented. Also, be more consistent about "Config Command" definitions (and to be explicit about that doc convention). git-svn-id: svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk@2414 b42882b7-edfa-0310-969c-e2dbd0fdcd60 --- doc/openocd.texi | 35 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/openocd.texi') diff --git a/doc/openocd.texi b/doc/openocd.texi index 90427323..fa17cfe4 100644 --- a/doc/openocd.texi +++ b/doc/openocd.texi @@ -696,6 +696,8 @@ JIM-Tcl commands, and (older) the orginal command interpreter. @item @b{Commands} @* At the OpenOCD telnet command line (or via the GDB mon command) one can type a Tcl for() loop, set variables, etc. +Some of the commands documented in this guide are implemented +as Tcl scripts, from a @file{startup.tcl} file internal to the server. @item @b{Historical Note} @* JIM-Tcl was introduced to OpenOCD in spring 2008. @@ -1513,12 +1515,18 @@ supported. @section Configuration Stage @cindex configuration stage -@cindex configuration command +@cindex config command When the OpenOCD server process starts up, it enters a @emph{configuration stage} which is the only time that certain commands, @emph{configuration commands}, may be issued. -Those configuration commands include declaration of TAPs +In this manual, the definition of a configuration command is +presented as a @emph{Config Command}, not as a @emph{Command} +which may be issued interactively. + +Those configuration commands include declaration of TAPs, +flash banks, +the interface used for JTAG communication, and other basic setup.
